Quick answer: Order a Cloud2Y VPS or dedicated server in the location you need, copy your files and databases from your HostPro server over SSH (rsync + database dumps), test the site on the new IP, then switch DNS. If you prefer, open a ticket and Cloud2Y engineers will do the transfer for you free of charge.
Overview
HostPro is a well-known Ukrainian hosting provider, and moving from it to Cloud2Y follows the same reliable pattern as any VPS move: copy, test, switch. Cloud2Y gives you locations in Ukraine (Kyiv DC2, Lviv DC3), Amsterdam and Singapore, NVMe/SSD storage tiers and a free assisted migration, so the move itself is usually the easy part — the important step is picking the right target plan.
Before you start
- SSH or control-panel access to your current HostPro server and a fresh backup of its data.
- A Cloud2Y server sized for your workload (how to choose); a VPS is ready in 30 minutes or less after payment.
- Access to your domain's DNS records.
Step-by-step guide
- Inventory what runs on the source: sites, databases, PHP/runtime versions, cron jobs, certificates.
- Provision the Cloud2Y server with a matching OS and install the same stack (or a control panel).
- Copy files from the HostPro server:
rsync -aHz /var/www/ user@CLOUD2Y_IP:/var/www/ - Move databases with dumps — see migrating databases.
- Test via a hosts-file override (guide), then switch DNS and keep the old server for a few days as a fallback.
Common issues
- Provider-specific panel features: anything configured through your old provider's panel (firewall rules, backups, mail) must be re-created on the new server — check your source panel before cancelling.
- IP-bound settings: update any hardcoded IPs in configs, and re-issue SSL certificates on the new server.
- Cancelling too early: keep the HostPro service active until the new site has run cleanly for several days.

SSH or control panel access, a fresh backup of files and databases, and a note of the software versions in use so the target server can be prepared to match.
